Two destroyer kit re-issues with full hull/waterline build options and new parts. One is the Shigure, an Shiratsuyu class destroyer and the other is the Kasumi (pictured in heading image), an Asashio class destroyer.

The Imperial Japanese Destroyer Shirayuki (White Snow) was the second of twenty-four Fubuki-class destroyers, built for the Imperial Japanese Navy following World War I. When introduced into service, these ships were the most powerful destroyers in the world. They served as first-line destroyers through the 1930s, and remained front line weapons systems well into the Pacific War.

Just released from Pit-Road, the Colorado class battleship USS West Virginia (BB-48). Sunk at her mooring during the Pearl Harbor raid, she was refloated, rebuilt and re-entered service in September, 1944.

Pit-Road (Skywave) of Japan has has announced the July 2015 release of kit PITJB-10S, a full-hull version of the modern (1980s) diesel-electric Japanese Marine Self Defense Force submarine Yushio in 1/350 scale.

Pit-Road (SkyWave) of Japan has has announced the June 2015 release of kit PITW-175, a full-hull version of the Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer Kamikaze (“Divine Wind”) in 1/700 scale. The kit will also include two Kairyu (“Sea Dragon”) midget submaries.

Building 1/700 scale ships is daunting task. Add in carrier aircraft and you'll definitely be reaching for your magnifiers. Pit-Road has announced an upcoming release that will make things much easier on a modelers eyes.
